In case you are unfimiliar with the GT-S concept, check out this link:

I have been debaiting for a while what exactly I want to do with my Z. I know that I want more power and slightly better handling without having to sacrifice my ride quality, and something like this sounds perfect for me. The supercharger looks like the HKS supercharger (which I have heard great things about), and the suspension and body modifications looks very worthwhile as well. So what is the likeliness that I can have my Z modified like this? What I was looking at before was getting the HKS supercharger installed by GTM with their stage 4 package, however that runs a good $10k alone. Since I got a 5AT I was thinking that I would want an upgraded valve body and possibly torque converter as well. That and I am still trying to find out what a good suspension is if I don't want a rougher ride.

 

yes, if you have the money

 

Well I know that

But where, how, and how much?

 

ugh, that is that nasty looking strosek kit. and that novidem kit is not even available in the US.

 

Point blank... this can be done for roughly $20k.
That said I just don't know where to send you in CA.
I am sure if you sat down at forged or pf for a few
hours you could hit all the high notes of the gt-s....
the real question is - will this be cash or credit?

 

lol, 20k? Might as well just sell my Z and get a GTR in that case, I will at least have a clutch finally, two even!

 

I love the Strosek wing!!

 

as long as it is attached without the OEM spoiler, and definitely not for $1500

 

Good luck finding an r35 for $40k.
Used Z + All that Gt-s crap = roughly $40k
Then again wtf do I know?
I can't even break off a Kaizo R34 for $55k
I must be an idiot.

 

just move along then.

look into the prices of these things:

coilovers, suspension 3,000
supercharger/install/tuning 9,000
clutch, diff 1,500
brakes 2,000
strosek bodykit 4,000
wheels/tires 2,500
(22,000)

it adds up quickly, and I am sure I have missed some things.

 

About the only things I would need out of all of that is just the supercharger/install/tuning and coilovers, suspension, as well as some transmission work. I already got the grand touring package so I am set when it comes to the brakes and wheels. That and the bodykit is definitely not needed, I think my car looks cleaner as it is anyways.

 

Hey I already got a Z that I picked up for 32k, that I can still sell for $27k.

Sure I would be paying over 20k... again... for a GTR but hey, it's resale will still be incredibly better than a 350Z with 20k dumped into it, even if I buy the GTR new.

 

Motormouth verifies my mind quote.... I think I left out the wheels/tires.
Nice. Calculator is humming.

 

then you don't want the GT-S concept.

and no, you need brakes. still, the total was 22k you can trim some off, but I was lowballing it all. there is shipping costs, install costs on other parts... there is a lot.

Itemize it out and let me know what you come up with ; )

20k or 15k it's still a chunk of change. if you do it in steps like most people it doesn't have the same impact as dropping a huge wad all at once.

do your suspension. then do your brakes. then the drivetrain.
